UCLA to open Battle 4 Atlantis tournament against Oklahoma

The Battle 4 Atlantis released its bracket this morning, slotting UCLA into what may be the tournament’s best opening-round game.

The Bruins will play Oklahoma on Nov. 26 at 2:30 p.m. ET, facing a Sooners squad that could be a top-15 team in the preseason AP rankings. OU returns top scorer Buddy Hield (16.5 points), leading rebounder Ryan Spangler (9.3) and assists leader Jordan Woodard (4.6).

After its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2008, UCLA’s young lineup features just one returning starter in Norman Powell, but adds a trio of touted freshmen in forwards Kevon Looney and Jonah Bolden, as well as center Thomas Welsh. Oklahoma will be the Bruins’ first test away from Pauley Pavilion.
